People here already said they have the same issue. .... my wife after seeing his photo said she thougjt it was 'the other one'.

Yes Rubio worked in the same building bit these people have their own clicks.

Everything is about Race for you.

Steeeuuuupppsss....stop pedling in hate and claiming the kettle is black.

Your slip is showing....then again that's been the case forever on this board.

Blame everyone for your inferiority complex.

Are you saying that Rubio can't tell Cummings from Lewis and that is not concerning...given they are all prominent lawmakers?

 
Ayenmol 2020-07-18 21:20:21 

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

Are yoy really surprised he is not?

I saw Lewis picture again this morning....yet i had to look twice at that pic.

You all too love to make a mountain out of a mole hill. When it suits you.

How often do you see Cummings or Lewis?

 
Ayenmol 2020-07-18 21:32:19 

In reply to FuzzyWuzzy

not often. You think he did it on purpose?

 
FuzzyWuzzy 2020-07-18 22:41:37 

In reply to Ayenmol

No. But it demonstrates the theory that we all look alike. But it is unforgivable for a fellow legislator.

the hiderbeast said

yall look alike!!!

RIP veteran warrior!!!

So he is the only person who has ever misidentified another....again...there are Black folks who misidentify these men...How do you even know if he was the one who sent the photo?

Every misstake is not an assault, dude.

You all act like every misstep of a White individual needs to be analyzed for racial undertones....when you are the ones judging on Race.

Genuine mistake.

 
nitro 2020-07-19 05:15:17 

Genuine mistake. Lil Marco paid a tribute to a great man.

 
Halliwell 2020-07-19 08:01:05 

Not a genuine mistake
These guys KNOW their fellow politicians

To compare them with your Innocent ignorance or your wives’ casual interest is disingenuous

 
camos 2020-07-19 10:50:25 

very casual approach by he senator,makes you wonder how sincere he was.

Incredibly sad. It goes beyond partisan politics. EVEN IN DEATH THEY GOT IT WORNG.

In reply to camos

If any one of them was sincere they might have passed Lewis' Voting Rights Bill.

 
black 2020-07-19 14:45:29 

It's a dead giveaway of prejudice or little to no interaction when people say, "all Chinese look alike" or "all Black people look alike."

It's even more telling when you cannot distinguish between two colleagues.


And by the way, if Rubio had made the effort, he would have noticed that Cummings was a much larger fellow than Lewis.

That simple and Rubio wasn't the only Republican to do this.

Idiot Rubio after working for so many years with these great men can't tell one from the other. FOH wid dat!

....
by the same token two photos which are uncannily similar could be switched by a simple mistake

Lewis had a slighter frame and Elijah looked more like a pitbull. Simple as dat.

 
black 2020-07-21 18:33:27 

In reply to DukeStreet

All he had to do was make an effort to distinguish between the two of them.

Lewis was also more elderly.

There are several other things that set them apart.
